Socket 1/2" 15 mm, Proxxon PR23414, 6-point

Proxxon 6-point socket PR23414 with a 1/2" drive and a 15 mm opening is engineered for reliable fastening and loosening of hexagonal nuts and bolts. The 6-point geometry provides secure engagement with fastener flats to reduce the risk of rounding and to distribute torque evenly. This socket is compatible with standard 1/2" ratchets, torque wrenches and extension bars, making it suitable for a range of workshop, automotive and maintenance applications.

Advantages

The tool's 6-point design ensures a firm grip on hex fasteners and minimizes slippage under high torque. Manufactured to workshop tolerances, the socket fits precisely and transfers force efficiently from the drive tool to the fastener. Its 1/2" drive interface offers compatibility with common professional hand tools, and the compact 15 mm head allows access in tighter spaces while maintaining strength for repetitive use.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and servicing where 15 mm fasteners are common
• General workshop maintenance and assembly tasks
• Use with torque wrenches for controlled tightening
• Field service and equipment repair requiring portable 1/2" drive tools

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" (square drive)
• Socket size: 15 mm (hexagonal, 6-point)
• Point configuration: 6-point for secure engagement
• Compatibility: fits 1/2" ratchets, torque wrenches and extension bars
• Intended use: fastening and loosening hex nuts and bolts

How to use

Select the 15 mm socket and attach it securely to a 1/2" drive ratchet, torque wrench or extension bar. Place the socket squarely over the hexagonal fastener so the six points engage the flats. Apply turning force smoothly to tighten or loosen the fastener; when using a torque wrench, set the required torque value before applying force. Remove the socket by pulling it straight off the drive after the operation is complete.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the socket with tools rated for the intended torque. Avoid using cheater bars or excessive impact on sockets not specified for impact use. Regularly inspect the socket for wear or rounding and replace if deformation is observed to prevent fastener damage.
